Holiday Land, also known as Festival of Fun Days, is a 1934 American animated short film made by Screen Gems as the first in their Color Rhapsody series.[2] It also features Screen Gems' current star, Scrappy, in his first color appearance.

The short was nominated at the 1934 Academy Awards for Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film but lost to The Tortoise and the Hare.[3][4]

Summary

Scrappy, a recurring character with his own series, is awakened by his alarm clock, does not want to get up and go to school. Tossing in his bed, he wishes that "today was a holiday". The wind blows pages off his wall calendar, which produce "holidays" in the forms of their mascots (Father Time, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a Thanksgiving turkey, a Halloween witch, etc.) Scrappy enjoys various holiday celebrations until he is awakened by his mother's voice. He quickly makes his morning routine, dresses, and eats a hasty breakfast, before diving under his bedclothes to dream again.
